It was a steep learning curve; the whole industry is still trying to formulate what is best practise. But recently I became the customer and was both surprised and disappointed to find a major airline, who have built a substantial social media community, doing it all wrong. What Not To Do Firstly, if you provide a service or sell a product 24 hours you need to provide support or assistance for your customer's 24 hours of the day. I was trying to book a flight online at short notice and the system kept crashing. It was 9 p.m. and according to the website all phone lines were closed until the next day. So I sought help on Twitter and got no reply there either. I got no reply until after n...

Blogging Content Ideas Sometimes the roadblock to starting a blog is not knowing what to write about. Here are five types of blog content you can write about: How-to's - Ask your audience what their major problems are, do the research, and solve them.

By all means, use appropriate technical terms if you're talking to an audience that uses them too. but ask yourself if this is the kind of language friends might use over coffee (and by coffee, I mean beer). S...
